Recomendation reads, ‘Sergeant Reed is an equipment N.C.O. who has been employed in the provisioning of airframe spares for American operational aircraft for the past 2 years. The efficient and enthusiastic manner in which he has carried out his duties is noteworthy. Working under trying circumstances he has frequently undertaken the work of 3 or 4 British other ranks for several months at a time. He has never complained and has always displayed keeness in his work, to which he devoted much of his spare time above the call of normal duty. Sergeant Reed’s application to his work was an excellent example to the remainder of the Section’.
